Hide or Display Model & Layout Tabs

If you like to set up your drawings with lots of layouts in them, you probably find the Model & Layout tabs along the bottom of the screen pretty handy.

But maybe you’re the type to only ever have Model and Layout1—nothing else. In that case, you might like to turn off these tabs to get them out of your way.

To do this, just right-click on a tab and choose “Hide Layout and Model tabs”. After you do this, the more observant of you may notice two extra icons on the status bar, sandwiched between the MODEL/PAPER toggle and Quick View Drawings and Layouts.

These are to help you quickly switch between model and paper space without the tabs. They’re also where you’ll find the setting to turn the tabs back on if you miss them.

The inspiration for today’s tip was provided by the April edition of the excellent Michael’s Corner newsletter—definitely worth a read if you’re not already a subscriber.
